What an Elevator Installer Makes in Florida
The median pay for an elevator installer or repairer in Florida is $104,730. That makes it the best-paid trade in this comparison. This figure comes from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (BLS OES), May 2025 release.
You can check this number yourself at the original source: BLS OES · Elevator installer/repairer.
How This Compares to Other Trades
The same BLS OES May 2025 release gives figures for a couple of other trades, so you can see how elevator installer pay stacks up:
- HVAC technician in Tampa Bay: median pay of $50,540. Source: BLS OES · HVAC technician.
- Electrician in Florida: the top 10% earn $77,180. Source: BLS OES · Electrician.
Note that these three numbers aren't measuring the same thing — one is a statewide median, one is a metro-area median, and one is a top-10% figure. Keep that difference in mind when comparing them.
What This Data Doesn't Tell You
A median or a top-10% figure describes an entire occupation — it isn't a promise about what you, personally, would earn. Actual pay depends on your employer, your experience, and where in Florida you work.
The material available here doesn't say how certifications like OSHA cards, NCCER credentials, EPA 608, or a CDL specifically change elevator installer pay. If that matters to your decision, ask an employer or training program directly, since this guide can't state a number that isn't in the source data.

What to Do Next
If you're weighing whether elevator installer work makes sense for you, start with the numbers above and the BLS source pages linked here. If you use TradePayFL, remember it's a paid tool, not a free one, and that it looks at general trade pay figures — it doesn't know your specific offer, your experience, or your local market. For a decision about your own income, confirm current figures with BLS directly and talk to a professional in the trade you're considering.
